Considering replacing 99 tl engine
Have a 99 TL that I was just informed that the engine(3.2) is shot,(2 cylinders are dead) . I've been told the cost of a new one is $1,800 & with labor $3,500. Trying to find out if that is a fair price. Would appreciate some advice & if their is a way to buy(online, callings dealers, etc) to save some $$. Thanks

You could find an stype engine with decent miles for alot less than 1800. Do some online research.

3 pedals in my 99 TL

or you could 6 spd swap it
but like katabatic said there are type s motors that go for real cheap you just gotta look around. i found one in my area for 300 with 93k miles from a guy parting out his car.

labor seems really high for a 4-5 hour job.

I paid 380 for my engine two years ago.
You can find an engine for less than 500 and have it delivered to the shop. Do a little legwork by calling local junkyards or LKQ.
The labor shouldn't be more than 5 hours at a rate of 120~ per hour.
That labor should include installing a new timing belt/ water pump and recharge of the a/c.
Parts are extra but it's good security. We pull TL engines in about 2 hours at my shop.
Stay away from a type-s engine because you will need a new ecu, engine harness, trans and imrc controller.
Just get a nice 99 engine. If you need help then shoot me a pm or text me 347-433-6290
